Section 011 Fire Magic
The old man looked at Mo Li, who was kneeling on the ground, flashed on his face with a smile, and then walked to him and said, "I can take you as an apprentice for the time being, but the next step depends on your performance. If you can stick to it, it's naturally good, but if you can't do it according to my requirements, then... The old man shook his head and said, "I can only give up your apprentice. Because I don't want to waste time and experience on anyone.
"Master, don't worry, I will work hard."
"Okay, then get up. Follow me to where I live. I will start to teach you magic tomorrow." After saying that, the old man ignored Mo Li and turned around and walked straight forward.
The old man's so-called place to live is not the house imagined by Mo Li at all, but a somewhat dark cave. If you can barely say it's home, you just made a simple bamboo door at the entrance of the cave, and there are more rough furniture made of bamboo.
"You'll sleep there tonight. I'll make you something to eat later." The old man pointed to a small bed made of bamboo in the corner of the cave and said.
Mo Li nodded, then walked to the bamboo bed and took down the things on his back.
"Now you go to the river west of the bamboo forest to get a bucket of water. I'll use it later."
"It's Master." After saying that, Mo Li picked up a small bamboo bucket next to the mouth of the cave and walked out.
Looking at Mo Li's petite back, the old man couldn't help sighing, and then turned around and was busy cooking.
Time passed quickly, and it was completely dark in a blink of an eye. This cave is located in the north of the bamboo forest and is driven by the mountains in the north. The bamboo forest at night seemed very quiet, and there was no other sound except the "wish" sound of the bamboo blowing.
Mo Li lay on the bamboo**. Although ** did not have any bedding or anything like that, which seemed a little hard and cold, Mo Li was extremely sleepy and fell asleep soon after due to the running and the battle of the wolf before.
The cave looks very dark, just out of sight. However, after Mo Li fell asleep, a dark shadow bounced up from another slightly larger bamboo ** and stood in front of Mo Li's window for a while. It turned into a breeze and disappeared into the cave. If you look carefully, you can find that the breeze emits a faint red light.
"The little boy got up!" Mo Li was being woken up by the old man when she was sleeping soundly. Although he was a little reluctant, Mo Li immediately got up in order to become a magician.
"Master." After washing his face by the river, Mo Li stood in front of the old man. At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the stars in the east were still faintly visible.
"Okay, today we will start learning magic." The most anticipated moment has finally come. Mo Li stared at the old man seriously for fear of missing a useful word, but the old man's next words puzzled Mo Li.
"First of all, you have to do a preparatory activity first." The old man stared at Mo Li's eyes and said, "From here, run all the way east, run to the end of the bamboo forest, and then run back."
"Ah?" Don't look at the old man puzzledly. Master, do you need to run to learn magic?
"Why, you didn't listen to the master at the beginning?" The old man shouted, "In that case, you can pack up and get out of here after dawn. I want to accept an apprentice like you!"
"Master, it's not like this." Mo Li quickly explained, "It's not that I don't listen to you, I'm just curious."
Curious? Where did so much curiosity come from!" The old man said angrily, "Do you know that curiosity can kill people? Remember, do what you are asked to do in the future. Don't ask so much, or pack up and get out of here! Do you know?"
"Yes, Master." Mo Li said a little aggrievedly.
"What are you still standing here for? Watch the sunrise! Hurry up and run!"
"Yes!" Mo Li has suffered such anger since he was a child, and tears have begun to twirle in his eyes. But he couldn't help letting him fall. He promised the old man, ran out of the cave, and then ran east along the uneven mountain road in front of the cave.
On the left is the towering mountain wall, and on the right is the dark bamboo forest. A seven- or eight-year-old child quickly ran east at dawn, as if to welcome the newborn sun.
Mo Li kept running. Because he was a little fast at the beginning and felt a little wronged and didn't pay attention to his feet, Mo Li fell several times in a row at the beginning, but he did not stay, let alone cry, regardless of the pain on his leg, and continued to run forward.
I don't know when it has dawned. Mo Li can even see the birds jumping and singing in the bamboo forest, but the bamboo forest in front of him seems to have no end. Mo Li has run for so long, his legs and feet are a little soft, and his breathing begins to be difficult, but the bamboo forest still has not come to an end.
The sweat all over the body was blown by the cold wind in the morning and soon dried up. A cold breath penetrated into the body. Although he felt very hot, Mo Li couldn't help hitting a cicada. Now he is almost to the limit of his body, and his legs don't seem to be his own, and he still moves back and forth quickly.
When the first ray of sunshine shone in the morning, another mountain at the end of the bamboo forest finally appeared in Mo Li's eyes. He seemed that a traveler who had been in the desert for a long time suddenly saw the oasis and couldn't help speeding up the mountain. But at this moment, Mo Li felt a pain in the soles of his feet and fell to the ground with a "plop". The pain came from the soles of his feet. He slowly began to do it and looked at his right foot. He saw a long thorn in the soles of his feet inserting on the pair of straw shoes her mother made for herself, and blood had passed through the soles of his shoes.
Mo Li endured the pain and gritted his teeth and pulled out the thorn. A burst of pain almost made him unconscious. After resting on the ground for a while, he stood up with difficulty and wanted to continue running forward, because he remembered that Master had told himself that if he could not do what Master asked, Master would let him get out of here.
But when Mo Li stepped forward again, he almost didn't fall down again. The pain in his right foot came, and his young body couldn't help shaking. Looking up at the rising sun, a fierce force rose from the bottom of his heart. I don't believe I can't do it!" Mo Li whispered, and then took a step and ran forward with difficulty. The pain slowly became numb with Mo Li's running. However, some dazzling silver thin lines and large black spots appeared in front of him. But he didn't stop, even on the edge of the bamboo forest, and directly turned his head and ran back.
By the time Mo Li returned to the mouth of the cave, the sun had reached the top of his head. At this time, even Mo Li didn't know how he ran back. Blood kept flowing along his feet, and Mo Li couldn't even see his master clearly. As soon as he got to the mouth of the cave, he burned it directly. His body doesn't seem to be his own at all now, and he can't use any strength at all. Breathing is also extremely uncomfortable. There seems to be something blocked in the throat, and there is a hot pain every time I breathe.
"Don't lie down like a dead pig, stand up quickly!" But as soon as Mo Li lay down, the old man's loud dissatisfied voice sounded again. Mo Li seemed to have been cast a spell. He immediately got up and stood in front of the old man with a little shaking.
"Do as I say!" The old man walked to Mo Li and said, "Now use all your strength and take a deep breath."
Mo Li did not dare to neglect and immediately did what the master said, but after taking a deep breath, the master had no follow-up. Mo Li did not dare to exhale, so he had to hold his breath. Just when he was about to hold back, he heard the old man's next words.
"Then exhale slowly, remember not to be fast, slowly, and exhale all the air in your stomach. Yes, hoo, hoo. Don't inhale. Very good. Do as I said five times."
It's strange to say that after Mo Li followed the method mentioned by Master five times, he felt that his breathing was much smoother. Even the fatigue on the body is much less.
"Now sit down cross-legged." After saying that, the old man sat in front of Mo Li first, and waited for Mo Li to sit down. The old man smiled and said, "Now we start to learn magic."
"First of all, let me introduce the basics of magic. According to different attributes, magic is divided into seven series of magic, namely gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light and darkness. What I want to teach you is the fire attribute magic in the seven series. Everyone will have different talents in their life. They can only choose one attribute as their major magic. Of course, they can also choose two, but unless your talent is abnormal, it is difficult to achieve once you practice two attribute magic. So far, I haven't heard of anyone who can successfully practice two attribute magic at the same time.
